My dad, the weather expert

During a phone call with my dad today, we got to talking about a recent hailstorm.

"Did you know that before Europeans arrived, there was never any baseball-sized hail in America?" he asked me.

"Really? Why's that?" I answered, thinking that there was some interesting meteorological explanation forthcoming.

"Well, there were no baseballs around to compare hailstones to."

Damn it, Pop.
